Lyrics

Jimmy was a poor soul
Outcast at ten years old
Not a friend in the world but me
Now I don't know Jimmy well
But boy did that kid swell
When he saw a critter creep
Jimmy was far from evil
But did look a bit like a weevil
Gave them other kids the heebie jeebs
But Jimmy and I were cool
And back then I liked bugs too
So I said "yes" when he asked me
To make a
Bug Tank
Sitting in the corner of the bedroom
Bug Tank
Jimmy can you hear the crawlies call you?
Bug Tank
You can feel the chittering in your bones
Bug Tank
Come on Jimmy, crawl into your new home
Spring rains were cold and long
But our resolve remained strong
For hours and hours we'd search and search
Horntails and billbugs and beetles
Hornets with stingers like needles
Centis and millis pulled from the Earth
Now me I had my fun
But Jimmy lit up like the sun
Each bug we snagged filled him with mirth
Watch him as hours passed
His ear pressed against the glass
Like he understood what the critters chirped
Inside the
Bug Tank
Sitting in the corner of the bedroom
Bug Tank
Jimmy can you hear the crawlies call you?
Bug Tank
You can feel the chittering in your bones
Bug Tank
Come on Jimmy, crawl into your new home
Our work had finally ended
The bug kingdom was splendid
I tell you Jimmy grinned ear to ear
But I watched his smile fade
And a strange look come over his face
Said, "you know I never really liked it here"
"You're my one friend in the world
And don't get me started on girls
But I think my happiness is finally near
This bug tank has given me faith
And to you friend I owe my thanks
I'm moving on now, don't be afraid"
He faced the
Bug Tank
Sitting in the corner of the bedroom
Bug Tank
Jimmy can you hear the crawlies call you?
Bug Tank
You can feel the chittering in your bones
Bug Tank
Come on Jimmy, crawl into your new home
So Jimmy crawled into the
Bug Tank
He never looked so alive
Critters crawled over him
Bug Tank
And he metamorphasized
Now he's one with the
Bug Tank
And I'm glad to see him go
He's a bug in the
Bug Tank
Jimmy's finally home
